The principal event of the reunion

sham battle which was very success

Our old friend Major Butler, formerly
Of the Fifth Infantry, was In command
Of the victorious army, which consist
ed Of four companies Of the Second,
two of the Twenty-Hrst and 300 vete-
rams, also battery Of sixty five men
and the band OF the rSenty-arst In

about the same number aud command
ed by Capt. Porter, oftbe Eighth In

battle from local print will be inter-

battle by sending out skirmish line.
which drove back the pickets Of the
other side. Major Buffers skirmish

Concerning the Election.

The condition Of the public mind in
regard to the approaching city cleo
ton is rather amusing. On the sur
face there is apparently no interest
taken aud the belief might reasonably
be entertained that the election would
fail for lack of candidates, but IL one is
serious enough to probe the matter be

everybody has set Of candidates and
that one mans choice Is rarely his
ghbor's. Now this sort Of feeling
is not going TO result beneficially, and

not only two but half a dozen tick
cts in the field. Ina matter that con.

opinion az TO who of our citizens

Although the flies have been very

A Garden Bnrometer.

One of the simplest of barometers Is Q
spiders web. When there Is a prospect
OF rain or wind, the spider shortens the
filaments from which its web is sus-
pended and leaves things in this state a.
long as the weather is variable. II the
insect elongates its threads, it is a sign Of
fine, calm weather, the duration of which
may be judged of by the length to which
the threads are let out. II the spider rc-
mains inactive, IL is a sign Of rain; but II,
on the contrary, IL keeps at work during
q rain, the latter will not last long, and
will be followed by fine weather. Other
observations have taught that the SPIDER
makes changes in It's web every twenty
four hours, and that il such changes are
made in the evening just before sunset.
the night will be clear and beautiful.-
